The Mother Of Methodism.

The life Of susanna Wesley, the
mother OF the founders of Method
ism, has recently been written. Her
life was one of earnestness and deep
religious conviction, Of quiet influence
and womanly power. Rer sons
looked up to her, even after they be-
came famous, with trust and rever-
enee Mrs Wesley was the twenty
fifth child OF her parents and was
born in 1869. She says that when
they had turned year old land
some befors) they were taught to
fear the rod and to cry softly. Again
she says: sIn order to form the
minds OF children, the first thing to
be done is to conquer their will and
bring them to an obedient temper. "
In the year ITO, when Samuel Wes-
ley was III London for many months,
Mrs. Wesley began to hold meetings
in her house on Sunday evenings. She
read q sermon and expounded the Bi-
BILE. The people came to hear her, the
house was crowded and the cnrate
made complaint. She wrote de
fence TO her husband in which she
says: We used not to have above
20 or 25 at evening service, whereas
we now have between 200 and 300
We Danish alltemporal concerns from
our society; none are suffered to min.
ale any discourse about them with
our reading and singing" Here seems
to De the germ Of Methodism.

only to leave them harder than they
we're before.
Isn't it Incredible" said the man
OF sense, "'that water SO particularly
clear should hold anythingin solution
so particularly hard?'
Il don't know" murmured the inn
perturbable, dreamiIy. Its like the
careless remark of a woman who had
packed her trunks for Europe, that
sometime she would like to go to the
Yellowstone; it sounds remarkably
simple, but you will find before long
that there is an adamantine purpose
at the bottom OF it.

was no need for that. As the syud passed
 with mortified look and downcast eye every man, wcman and child rose to do him hon. age; and they continued erect long after he had passed. As for the holy man himself he sauntered on with an abstracted air, his lips ever moving as if in prayer, while he ran the beads of his priceless rosary through his fingers. A little behind him came some of the principal priests and doctors of the law clad in their sombre garments; then a crowd of humber ecclesiastics, some of them ragged enough in appearance, but all more or less initiating the manner of the great man himself; and then few plainly dressed servants. There is no silk, no gold lace in the garments of these men; for such things are abominations in the eyes of their master-nay, they are unlawful. Lastly comes 8 vast mixed crowd some two hundred or more strong. These are the suitors, the petitioners, the litigants, the oppressed and even the oppressors; indignant creditors, re- calcitrant debtors, accused persons, plaintiffs and defendants in civil suits; the sick in search of 8 miraculous cure, the credulous seeking talisman or charm written by the holy hand; and finally the personal disciples of the great religious light; ragged young fellows mostly, but scrupulously clean. As for the dress of the holy man himself, it is plain almost to meanness, being similar to that of well-to-do villager. A pair of old fashioned green shagreen slippers are on his feet; his socks are so low as to barely reach his ankles, and the leg naked for several inches; his big pyjamas are of simple cotton cloth, dyed deep blue with indigo; his up- per garments are all of common chintz and of sad colors; round his waist is wound a priceless cashmere shawl of green, the sacred color; his shirt is calico unstarched. The saints large turban is of so dark a green as to be almost black; on his shaven head is 8 small delicately embroidered skull cap of white cotton, over which is placed the tur- ban which marks his descent from Mahom- med. The face is heavy-the dull, heavy face of the Ispahan villager; but behind it is one of the most subtle brains in all Persia; and be it remembered that every Persian is a horn intriCuar

Shoe Manufacturers association of that city, l in view of the rapid withdrawal of shoe
 manufacturers from the city, have issued a 1 manifesto saying that within the last two years firms manufacturing $1 1000, 900 worth of goods per annum, and employing 600 op- eratives, have been driven away by the ex- orbitant demands of labor organizations, and
 it seems probable that from the same cause an equal amount of business will be lost
 within the next few months. It is sai6 that country factories now produce many of the cheaper grades formerly made in Haverhill at lower price than they can be manufac- tured by local factories, and labor organiza- tions, while clamoring against cheap prison labor, have by their demands built up body of low-priced workmen in the country towns over whom they exert little influence and whose competition is feared.
 Among the important bills which the Con- gress which has just adjourned managed to pass are the following: A bill to grant pen sions to the survivors of the Mexican war; one to provide a school of instruction for cavalry and light artillery; one making awards to the survivors of the steamer Ashuelot the electoral count bill; the bill forfeiting the Backbone railroad land grant; the bill to regulate interstate commerce, and the bill allotting lands in severalty to the Indians; 8 bill providing s400, 1000 to arm the militia; one to carry into effect the provisions of the treaty with China regulating the opium trade; one to make more stringent the importation of contract labor; prohibiting the employ ment by contract of the labor of United States prisoners; the Chinese indemnity of $147, ,000 for the Rock Springs massacre; ex- tending the appropriation for the Brooklyn public building to $1, ,500, 900: bill to estab- fish agricultural experiment stations; the "Aliens land bill" restricting the ownership of real estate in the territories, and the ''Re- taliation" or fisheries bill. The most inter- esting bill yet to be signed are those for the retirement and recoinage of the trade dollar; to prevent the employment of convict labor on public buildings; annexing part of Idaho to Washington, and the bill permitting the settlement by arbitration of disputes between railroads and their employees in the States and territories

Woman'RTiTne.

From the Chicago Journal of Education.l It is true that owing to many limitations women do not rise to prominence in educa- ton as rapidly as those who are in haste for their recognition would desire, and it seems that in proportion to the number of those engaged in teaching few attain notable prominence. But many difficulties stand in the way of easy development. The princi- pal of a noted school for girls once said that she was obliged to perform the duties of both man and woman, since besides her ard uous labors of the head of a large school, which would have taken the strength of 8 her housekeeping and social duties as any woman who maintains social position in a large city. In the morning she would hold her classes and superintend her whole school; in the afternoon she would receive callers un- til often late in the evening, and she still had before her the study which was required by her profession. All professional women ex- cept perhaps physicians are retarded and of ten harassed by their social duties and the many little calls upon time and strength which cause them to lose sight of the main purpose. Few women have the help for their work which professional men, teachers, artists, physicians and lawyers receive from the tender devotion of their wives. George Eliot was an exceptional illustration of the reverse, since she received the loving care which the wife bsstows usually upon the husband.
 Many men would not have attained promi- hence without the encouragement and wise advice given them by retiring little woman throughout his career. AS women and the world become more used to the novelty of professional careers, women take up work with full realization of it's responsibility without faintheartedness, progress to emi- hence will be more certain than it is new, when through consciousness to details the main purpose may be neglected. During the past few years change has been noticed in the ease with which any excellent work may be gained, and the way is already much smoother.

How He Hears Himself fin Pu blic-The Source of Ills Power.
 l The Hadji Syud Assad Ullah was saint ! and doubly sanctifed; holy by birth in his ! ancestry from the prophet himself-holy by l his having accomplished the great pilgrimage l to Mecca says writer in the St. James Ga- ! zette. Men would press forward to touch l his flowing robe he passed in the street; women would ask his blessing upon their children. Who so great consoler at the l bedside of the dying as Hadji Syud Assad Ullahs The syud was learned man and argumentative withal. We'll read in the Ko- ran and it's commentators, he was prepared to give 8 decision on any imaginable point He lectured to students in the college and in the mosque, and many were his disciples. The syud was the celebrated son of a cele- brated father. His great influence was prin- cipaly due to his incorruptibility. A gov ernor or a man in office in Persia who does not take bribes is very rare; but priest without itching palm is rarer still. The syud was wealthy man, but great portion of his wealth was inherited; though more had been acquired from the favor of his sov- 1 ereign and by the fear he inspired in the guilty minds of successive Governors of Isp- ] ahan. In case of charge of peculation or
 
 crush hims The syud's. Should the Ispa- ! hanis rebel word from the syud to his roy ! al master could retain place and power for an unfortunate Governor, or cause his in- stant return to the capital in humiliation and | disgrace. What Governor then would be l foolhardy enough to ask the holy man to pay ! his taxes, or to oppress the villagers who l lived in the protection ot his shadow? l Should the Governor be fortunate enough to
 receive a mark of approbation from the
 saint in the form of present of one loaf of sugar and twelve quinces, is it not natural 1 that he should hasten to repay the obligation l by gift of thousand times the valuea In
 the case of the Shah's illness, whose prayers would be solicited by the king himself for
 his recovery? Naturally the priestly pill grim's. The hadji had but to show himself
 in the great mosque, to ascend the wooden
 pulpit of painted wood, and few solemn words eagerly drunk in by the expectant populace could quiet raging mob or fan its
 fHry to fever heat. The high priest of Ispa- | han himself, great was his influence, could be checkmated by the saint. The hadji had
 but to declare himself, the oracle had but | to speak, and there was an end of the mat ter. Nor did the hadji abuse his position; l seldom indeed could a definite opinion be
 extracted from him.
 There was no outward show. No proces- ! sion of we'll clad servants, no burly ruffians i armed with slaves preceded the holy man as
 he walked through the crowded bazaars or ! am oled along on his priceless mule; there

 People have an idea that the recruiting offices of the United States army take most anybody who comes along," said newly enlisted man in the cavalry service to a re- porter sBut that is great mistake. l took pains to find out something about this when I entered my application and learned that only about one man in thirty of those who apply to enter the cavalry service are able to successfully pass exani- nation Last month out of forty-four who applied only eight were accepted. Instead of jumping at man as people suppose, they put him through the most rigid and thorough examination, and after it all they ask him over and over if he is sure he knows his own mind and is fully satis- fed to give his services wholly to the army for five years. You have got to be sound mentally and physically, and your eyesight and hearing are put to very severe tests.
 'The way they tried my eyesight was this: A man holding pack of cards stood at a distance of twenty feet from me and the doctor put one hand over of my eyes. The man with the cards held up one after another in quick succession, and had to call off the number of spots on each card If you fail in telling one card you are rejected. In testing my hearing they turned me so that my back was toward the man at the other end of the room and the doctor placed his hand over one of my ears Then the man called off, in low monotonous tones, an improvised and ineor rect multiplication table, such as five

THE STORY OF A WIG,

A Funny Incident Which occurred at
 the 'Eheater i'm Paris-Humiliation.
 IArlo Bates in the Providence Journal.i
 The mention of Cambridge reminds me, although the connection is not very close, how a party of Americans were taken through European tour last summer by professor living in that classic town, from whom, it may be well to state, did not hear this story. In the party was one Mrs. A., sort of an authoress, who did not have the good fortune to make herself popular with her fellow travellers. One evening several of the company attended the theater in Paris, and Mrs. A., conspicuously arrayed with 8 splendor somewhat more youthful than her years warranted, rather rudely insisted in putting herself into the best place. Another lady ventured mildly to protest that Mrs. A. was taking up the room of two, and that she personally was very poorly placed, but noth- ing effected by this remonstrance. Mrs. A., conspicuous and triumphant, sat and plumed herself in the box, until by some dreadful chance she leaned too far forward and down into the box below went the wig with which she was accustomed to cover her scauty locks.
 The unhappy woman uttered a shriek and retreated to the back of the box, where she covered her head with handkerchief and wept bitterly. Miss B., the lady who had shortly before tried to induce Mrs. A. to be reasonable in her claims on the space in the box, now came gallantly to the rescue. She suppressed her laughter and began a mental review of her French, that by the end of the act she felt compensated 10 grapple with the situation in the tongue of the land. Leaning over she managed by calls, coughs and more or less intelligible exclamations to attract the attention of the gentlemen in the box below. The wig had fallen back of their chairs, so it was some time before the Frenchmen could comprehend what was the desire of the bright-eyed American lady who, with her face wickedly full of mischief, was addressing them from the box above.
 An understanding was at last arrived at, however, and with all the politeness and grace of his nation one of the strangers eI- evated the wig on the point of his cane, and in the face of the whole opera house it rose from one tier of boxes to the other. The audience applauded, the unfortunate owner of the head gear moaned in the cor ner, while with the air of goddess of liber- ty, who stoops to rescue 8 nation from depth of slavery, Miss B. leaned over and secured the truant tresses. The incident is of course less funny in the telling than it was in the acting, but it may be inferred that at least for few days Mrs. A. was some what subdued.

 The hearing before the Finance committed last evening was a very interesting one Some of the statements made will surprise those who have not known how New Haver has fared in the matter of freight rates. It if evident that the merchants need and want the relief which will be afforded by a new competing line.
 The Maine railroad commissioners, who have been examining methods of car heating
 under a legislative order, say in their report on the matter that they have found that it is perfectly feasible to heat cars by steam from
 the locomotive, using either the Sewell,
 Martin, Emerson or Gould system. They recommend that the Maine companies do away with stoves as soon as practicable and substitute any one of these systems.
 One of the Connecticut correspondents of New York paper must have moved to Newfoundland. The Standard of Harbor Grace, N. F., contradicts the whole story of the terrible famine which was said to exist there and complains that ''no sooner has one villainously untruthful, slsnderous state ment in regard to this country and people been exposed than another, equally as bad, false and misleading, is deliberately for warded to the outside press by some miscre- ant or miscreants in our midst"
 MT. N. s. Chase, Boston capitalist, has one notion which shows that he is of a gen. erous make. He announces that, in his opinion, having been an employer of labor fifteen years, every man ought to receive $1 per hour for his labor or time, and he ought to sell but five hours per day at the most. it can be carried out, and until he does most of the workers will unfortunately have to put up with less than one dollar an hour.
 Judge Gresham, who won a good deal of fame by daring to decide railroad case against the interests of Jay Gould, has been rather neatly taken in by 8 smart lawyer. A railroad suit came up before him in Chicago involving one ot Jay Gould's connecting roads, when the lawyer of the corporation asked that the case might be heard by Judge Blodgett and not by Judge Gresham. The
 latter judge reddened with anger and re- fused to have anything to do with the suit,
 which was just what the lawyer wanted him to do.
